When Terrance logged in a feminine voice drifted into his ears.
- The scan on your iris and vein has determined that you are a unregistered user. Do you want to create a new account? -
"Yes, thank you umm..."
As if knowing that this would happen the voice said
- I am a AI developed by Unicorn Corp. for Royal Road. -
"Oh...." wow I totally thought that there was a person on the other side talking to me.
- Select a name for your avatar -
"Terra" I always use this name because it is a shortened form of my own and the concept of being called something else other thhan my name freaks me out.
- Select a gender from male, female, or neutral -
Neutral?!.....Well i guess there are many people out there. I wonder what neutral would have then between they're le......Terra stopped right there and with a red face, weakly he replied
"Male."
- Royal Road has forty-nine races. You may select your race from the primary twenty-nine. -
Hmmm it would be interesting to play as an elf but....
"Human."
- You may alter your appearance -
"The way I am please."
Terrance thought that he was fine the way he was. Standing at an average 5"10 with black hair well past his eyes. His body in good physical condition from his job and his hobby of taking a self-defense class with his uncle who is also his boss at work. He however had a special trait in his eyes called Heterochromia Iridum which made his black eyes have a ring of white near the center. What really made him keep his appearance however is the fact that he felt uncomfortable changing his appearance because people wouldn't see the real him but a fake one and he decided against that and to play true to his feelings.
- Your account has been activated. Your stats and class shall be determined while you are playing Royal Road -
"Eh? I don't get a class to start out with?"
- Class guilds are widely used to give classes out but, there are hidden classes in the game as well. -
"Thanks that good to know" Hidden classes? The thought of this made Terrance's eyebrow rise a bit. I wonder what those are?
- Select a city and kingdom you would like to start in -
"Is there a place in the middle of the forest?"
Terrance had lived in the city his whole life so the aspect of being in nature seemed quite irresistible for him.
- Two results have been found -
"What are they?"
- The village of Grendor, Fornian KIngdom or The village of Dragoon, Draken Kingdom -
After much deliberating Terrance chose "The village of Dragoon, Draken Kingdom."
- Welcome to Royal Road would you like to proceed to the tutorial? -
Terra (hehe switching it up on you guys) covered his eyes as a brilliant flash of light lit up the room making the already white room shine brighter.
***
Terra was teleported to Dragoon's starting area. After the light died down he opened his eyes and looked around. Feeling himself and his face he clenched his fist with astonishment. "Wow I can't believe this is virtual reality, It's so real!" Terra began to slowly walk away from the starting area and took a stroll.
Wow look at that guard so much armor, I wonder how he can carry that weight? From the gateway he was guarding he say little rabbits hopping around the place and he approached the gate. The guard stopped his to his horror.
"What going on? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, but I can't let you leave until you are properly prepared for the outside. All new users must stay inside the city until 4 weeks have passed."
4 weeks? Since Royal Road goes at 4 times the speed of real time then he had to stay in the city for a whole week! He was about to argue until he saw a player die by bunnies chewing his body. Terra walked around the town for a bit more and came across a park and sat at the nearest bench.

Hmm I wonder how to look at my stats and just as he was thinking this his eyes caught two adventurers with leather armor and iron swords say "Stat WIndow" Well I guess that answers my question then. "Stat Window."

Terra not knowing that something like this would pop up scared him as he hit his back hard on the bench.
-5hp
Unfortunately for him this wasn't the end because when he hit the bench with his back, the bench began to fall back as well. Terra strained it to go forward but to no avail and closed his eyes as he waited for the landing of him vs ground.
.........
.....
..Wha?
Terra opened his eyes to see that he hadn't fallen yet. In fact he was floating in mid-air. To his shock the bench turned upright abruptly causing his body to pitch forward from the sudden movement and his face kissed the floor while his legs touched the sky.
"Ouchhh!"
"Sorry bout that kid. I aint used that in a while."
Terra letting his legs fall back to the floor got off the ground holding his face with one hand to stare at through the cracks of his fingers at the person the voice came from. He was at least 70 years old with a face to say that he had been through many things and seen many other things as well. He donned a grey cloak and a grey wizard hat with a bell at the pointy tip of it. He also had a wooden staff in his arms which by the way were covered with....The old man put his arms down hiding it and asked
"You good kid?"
".....Gandalf?!"
"What are you dreaming kid? I aint no Gandalf!"
"Sorry my mistake."
"Let me take a look at the wounds on yer face."
Terra took his hand away from his face to show his nose was bleeding and his face was completely red. The old man quickly said after examining the wounds on his face
"Cmon follow me to my house. I got something that will work on those wounds of yers."
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it. I was a little at fault there."
"My names Terranc...Terra whats your old ma-"
WHACK
THUD
*Ping
That was the last sound Terra heard before his vision went black and his senses embraced that darkness....

Hey guys Xad here! This is a quick chapter compared to other Fanfics I read but I figured this would be a good point to stop. So who is this Gandalf he met well thats a story for the next chapter but I can tell you it has something to do with the Last One. The next chapter might be a bit shorter however as I am starting up school once again :shock: But me, myself, and I will keep it up because we all hate cliffhangers. If there are any spelling/grammar mistakes let me know in the comments but go easy on me I am only 16.
P.S. For those of you who don't know who Gandalf is well....You don't get out much, do you?
